Week 5 Game Balls: York County and Musings From Around The State

<span style="font-weight: 400;">We’ve got 4 players to showcase in this week’s Game Balls with two multi-skilled players who brought the effort and intensity last Friday night. We’ve also got a few recruiting nuggets to share as well.</span><b></b> <ul> <li aria-level="1"><b>2022 Nation Ford OLB/SS [player_tooltip player_id="200702" first="Jackson" last="Sims"] </b><a href="https://twitter.com/Jax_Sims1311"><b>(@Jax_Sims1311)</b></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">primarily lined up at the safety spot and did a good job of taking angles to the ball and recognizing plays in Friday night’s 55-15 win over Harding University High out of Charlotte, N.C.. Sims recorded a field goal block and a touchdown throw on a fake field goal as well.</span></li> </ul> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/12749440/614f351ebee11208109135ce"><span style="font-weight: 400;">HUDL highlights vs. Harding University High</span></a> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>2022 Clover OL [player_tooltip player_id="200696" first="Hagan" last="Smith"] </b><a href="https://twitter.com/HaganSmith71"><b>(@HaganSmith71)</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> impressed us with great footwork in watching his highlights in what was a 23-20 losing effort to Rock Hill on Friday night. He continues to get to the second level to block linebackers.</span></li> </ul> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/11453065/614f424c4df5910514cc8fa7"><span style="font-weight: 400;">HUDL highlights vs. Rock Hill</span></a> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>2022 Clover WR/CB [player_tooltip player_id="89317" first="Jy" last="Martin"] </b><a href="https://twitter.com/jymartin_"><b>(@jymartin_)</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> was an enforcer in that he immediately made tackles on the ball carrier in last week’s game against Rock Hill. He forced a fumble coming down from his safety position and had quick play recognition to see a quick pass and sprint to make the TFL. He caught a touchdown as well.</span></li> </ul> <a href="http://hudl.com/video/3/15894053/614f6c2c0c54db068884053d"><span style="font-weight: 400;">HUDL highlights vs. Rock Hill</span></a> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>2022 Lakewood CB/WR [player_tooltip player_id="59475" first="Zayveon" last="Wells"] </b><a href="https://twitter.com/TheZayveonWells"><b>(@TheZayveonWells)</b></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">is versatile and that was on full display against Marlboro County last Friday. At the cornerback position, be careful with the quick game because he has the quickness to make a play on the ball. On offense, he can line up at quarterback or running back and is dynamic once the ball is in his hands.</span></li> </ul> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/11173279/6150ebc9ab9d7308e4892182"><span style="font-weight: 400;">HUDL highlights vs. Marlboro County</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Local Recruiting notes from around York Co. last week</span> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>2023 Northwestern WR [player_tooltip player_id="146372" first="Elijah" last="Caldwell"]</b> <a href="https://twitter.com/7Caldwell_"><b>(@7Caldwell_)</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> received an offer from Coastal Carolina University in Conway, S.C. on Saturday, September 25.</span></li> </ul> [embed]https://twitter.com/7Caldwell_/status/1442284336724672514[/embed] <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>2022 Fort Mill DE [player_tooltip player_id="118721" first="Miller" last="Shouse"] </b><a href="https://twitter.com/ShouseMiller"><b>(@ShouseMiller)</b></a><b> and [player_tooltip player_id="200700" first="Charlie" last="Veltri"]</b> <a href="https://twitter.com/CharlieVeltri"><b>(@CharlieVeltri) </b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">visited Averett University in Danville, Va. on Saturday, September 25.</span></li> </ul> [embed]https://twitter.com/RealJShouse/status/1441865059433472007[/embed] <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>2022 Catawba Ridge DE [player_tooltip player_id="59504" first="Asa" last="Johnson"] </b><a href="https://twitter.com/Asajohnson55"><b>(@Asajohnson55)</b></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">visited Furman University in Greenville, S.C. on Saturday, September 25.</span></li> </ul> [embed]https://twitter.com/Asajohnson55/status/1441869703778029574[/embed]
